Beddington Park and Trees

Weeping Willow over the Mill Pond

Giant Redwood by the Grange

London Plane by the Meadow

Yew Trees in the Church

Pines at Carew Manor

A break in the weather meant an excuse to have a walk round the Park with Gillian to look at the autumn trees. A real good tree selection including in addition to the above Swamp Cypress, Dawn Redwood, Liquidamber, Caucasian Wing-nut, Indian Bean, Mullberry and quite a few more.

When Beddington Farmlands finally opens as a public nature and country park it will be a contiguous public space with Beddington Park. We walked back through the farmlands along the permitted path- saw a male Wigeon on the North Lake. ﻿

About Me

This is my birding and nature blog/profile. I am based at Beddington Farmlands which is being developed into a nature reserve within the Wandle Valley Regional Park in South London. I live and work from Beddington Farmlands and operate Little Oak, an environmental management company that looks after green spaces in our local area. Recently due to family commitments I've been living between London and Oxford and spending more time birding in Oxfordshire. I also have my foreign patch on the Azores where I escape to at every available opportunity. Whenever possible I leave my patches for a bit of general birding, exploring in the mobile obs (the campervan) and do a bit of music as a hobby.
